Take a look at ESPN’s post-Week 2 AP Poll reaction for the Florida Gators

The Gators come in at No. 5 in ESPN’s post-Week 2 poll, the third-highest ranked SEC team behind No. 2 Alabama and No. 4 Georgia.

Week 2 of the 2020 college football season is in the books, and a new AP Poll has been released, and ESPN’s college football team gave their reactions for each team listed in the top 25.

This week’s poll is the first AP Poll to only feature teams playing football this fall, as the previous poll included teams from the Big 10 and Pac-12, which have postponed their fall seasons.

The Gators come in at No. 5 on this week’s poll, the third-highest ranked SEC team behind No. 2 Alabama and No. 4 Georgia. Here’s what ESPN’s Andrea Adelson said about Florida.

The Gators lost their top four receivers from a year ago, and though there are known players with the opportunity to step up such as Trevon Grimes and Kadarius Toney, watch for some new faces to potentially emerge. So far through camp, true freshman Xzavier Henderson (the brother of former Gators cornerback CJ Henderson) and Jaquavion Fraziars have earned praise. Then there is Penn State transfer Justin Shorter, now eligible to play this season. — Adelson

Alabama lands at No. 2 in latest AP Poll

There were eight SEC teams who made the top 25, including Alabama who was ranked in the No. 2 spot.

[jwplayer Zplm1Sf4-er0jUifI]

The Alabama Crimson Tide won’t play a game until September 26th, but that didn’t stop Alabama from being ranked in the No. 2 spot in the AP Poll on Sunday.

A panel of 62 sports writers and broadcasters from around the country votes on the poll weekly.

The Crimson Tide moved up one spot from No. 3 to No. 2 after the BIG 10 and Pac 12 made the decision to cancel their fall football season. Last week, Ohio State was in the No 2 spot.

Regardless, Alabama will have to wait until their opening game on September 26th to show what their capable of this season.

Here is how the rest of the poll looks following Week 1 action:

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Oklahoma
4. Georgia
5. Florida
6. LSU
7. Notre Dame
8. Auburn
9. Texas
10. Texas A&M

18. Louisville
19. Louisiana Lafayette
20. Virginia Tech
21. BYU
22. Army
23. Kentucky
24. Appalachian State
25. Pittsburgh

There were eight SEC teams who made the top 25.

As for the rest of the Big 12, two other teams made the top 25. Oklahoma (No. 3) is the highest-ranked conference team and Oklahoma State (No. 11) also makes a major jump. Iowa State drops out of the poll after losing at home to Louisiana.

For the first time, no Big Ten or Pac-12 teams were in the poll. Both conferences have postponed their seasons, possibly coming back in the spring. Four teams ranked ahead of Texas in the preseason poll are now unranked.
